OT, but I couldn't help but posting this small tidbit from the advocacy and safety forum. Immediately I got the image of some messer in Chicago because I don't think commuters hit cars with locks.
It was about this time when I slowed to allow someone in the left lane in (who hesitated in disbelief that I was actually allowing him into my lane) that the cyclist, who had been behind me by a few car lengths, came up alongside my car and matching my speed, banged the right side of my car with his bicycle lock.
